Apple SD Card reader is not working.

After updating into IOS 16.1, Apple SD card reader is not showing neither in Photos nor in Files. But my iPhone which is 11 pro 256 GB is detecting the SD card reader in the About section of the settings. I am a photographer. This is very important for me to work. Please help !

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Hello, frustrated friend.  Because Apple's SD card reader doesn't have a how-to manual, even their technicians claim that their product is no longer compatible with the iOS 16 firmware.

After a frustrating week, I found out they all work fine.  First, since your iPhone doesn't recognize the card reader, don't bother looking for the words "Import" that appear in the bottom-right corner of your phone's screen.


Here is how it works: insert the SD card into the reader > plug the device card reader into the iPhone > click on the “FILES” app > click on iCloud Drive’s “Browse” > click on Browse’s “No Name”  > now you can view your files from your SD card on “No name”.
